Clown Goby's Favorite Spot???

Snelly40 · 05-17-2006, 03:46 PM

Hey guys, well since my mishap with the jawfish i have been tentative to get anything new until the crabs were gone. Well they are and i went to my LFS but they were out of jawfish. However, i had been toying with the idea of a Clown Goby and i saw the cutest little Green Clown Goby. i know they are great in a reef so i grabbed him. Well he's doing really well but i have read how they like to perch on corals. I was wondering if they had a favorite type that i could get for him. Thanks

Looks like they like colt corals, branching leather corals, and the like. Good read on them here...

Mine perch on any coral, they like my mushrooms the best

Mine basically lives in my toadstool leather, but also perches on mushrooms and my candycane.
I think I read that they breed on the base of acro's

Well it was one thing to read about them and see a picture in this thread. I saw my first Clown Goby at the LFS. I will own one of those fellas if/when any of my other fish pass away. Those things are cuties.

Well i got one of these guys yesterday, but as Pmac said, watch them near SPS...

bad news: Clown goby, is alive however not doing well. I was in the process of doing a water change and when i turned the powerhead back on i noticed a little tail coming out of the powerhead. I grabbed a screwdriver to pry open the powerhead and i was able to pull him loose but one of his fins is really messed up and he has a gash on that same side. He swam off but i'm yet to see him again. Hopefully with the peaceful environment and new landscaping with lots and lots of hiding places he'll be able to get back to health. Needless to say it was quite tramatic.

Sorry about the bad news.. let us know how he makes out... Melafix works great on damaged fins and such... But another reason to hate Powerheads!!
